Nearing Alaska Highway

June 19 -20 Days 12 - 13

The carvings in Chetwynd were rather remarkable:





Even the hand carved welcome sign













   The gater was my favorite











On this one, the wings were a separate carving from the bench







Moving on up to Dawson Creek, BC was one of our first goals; the start of the Alaskan Highway, mile post "0"






The favorite tourist spot
 






                                 Mile post "0" in Dawson Creek, BC













While in Dawson Creek, we went to the Alaska House Museum which showed the history of the Alaska Highway.  There was a 20 minute video presentation of  the history which contained interviews with some of the still surviving army engineers.  To our surprise, one of the the interviewees was the father of close friends of Bonnie's. 

We have seen several bears, which is always a thrill!
